- I enjoy Drummer but I'm not a big fan of this change, which makes blogging in Drummer less fun for me. #
- Background: Drummer is an outline based blogging system. You create an outline in the web app, then publish it. I love this. You can just fluidly drag things to re-arrange them. To make a new post you could literally just hit the Enter key which is right there on your keyboard. You could take a tangent four levels down in a post and just quickly drag it up to the top level so it becomes its own post. It felt powerful and cool.#
- With this change, you need to click a special "plus" icon to make a part of the outline be on the web. Otherwise, if you just hit enter, or drag some part of another outline up so it's a the top level, it won't publish for some reason. I'm not sure the reasoning behind the change, maybe because I was away from Drummer for a bit.#
- I miss the fluidity. This change to me makes Drummer feel less like outlining, which I love, and more like regular modal blogging software, which I don't so much love :-)#
